Lopeti Timani's side of the story has been published by Fairfax. Mafi seems like he has some serious anger management issues, which have come to the fore on multiple occasions now with different teams. They are just the incidents that have been reported publicly. I presume he won't be back...

Are these World Series games being streamed?

Can someone link me to the Fixtures (specifically for August 11)? Could not seem to find anything reliable in my search online.

We actually have NZ teams in our competition. Why haven't we ever seriously considered setting a fixture between teams from both counties? Start with one fixture and build from there. At the very least you think it would be successful for games held in NZ.

At what point does Australian rugby bottom out and decide to hit the reset button? Would it take another winless season against the Kiwis and unsuccessful national campaign to really put the squeeze on finances and push RA to the point of no return? Business-as-usual is looking less and less...

It'll be interesting if the Force start pulling in bigger crowds for their upcoming games than the Australian Soup sides. To be honest it's probably not unlikely.

Look if I was serious about developing a product that may actually be marketable, I'd be looking to build a domestic competition that draws on the strengths of premier grade rugby. By that I meaning inviting the clubs around the country, which have started to see a resurgence in recent seasons...

Federalism at its very worst.

I'm not sure about that. Having some involvement in senate estimates hearings, there are definitely some wiley operators. Notably Nick Xenophon and (now formerly) Scott Ludlam, but there are plenty of others who earn their keep.

The current soup model as we know it will be dead before the next media agreement is up for re-negotiation. I see no point in dragging out support for this rotting corpse. I will continue to support the NRC, the national team, and in particular, grass roots rugby in the meantime.

Why are there so many Kiwis on an Australian rugby forum? They seem to be a recurrent and inescapable part of life, sadly even in the online world.

"I think everyone was surprised," Larkham said. "I don't think it was necessarily a poor performance. There was great intent from the players going out onto the field but far too many errors." What planet are these blokes from? No wonder the team is playing at such a low level when you're...

Worst case scenario, is there any possibility Perth Spirit could convert to Western Force and play on in the NRC? Keep the dream alive until the time is right to join professional rugby once again.

I hope one day we will be in a position to complain about putting 54 points on a team (let alone the All Blacks), but I'm not holding my breath.

Picked the right game to mark my first Sydney GPS experience! Thanks to everyone who provided advice on which match to see, the best place to park and where to find the bar afterwards. It was an excellent game with atmosphere to match. Nevertheless I'm not convinced it tops the annual Nudgee v...

Thanks for the extensive run down. Where can I find Jacks Bar after the match?

Can someone tell me what time First XV matches kick off? And if anyone in the know has any parking tips for around Hunters Hill on match days (especially against Riverview) that would be great. Cheers

That's a perfect rundown. Thanks mate!

Hi all - I'm keen to catch my first AAGPS First XV game when I'm in Sydney next. As you might expect the official website isn't much help, but I've managed to extract the following information for August 12. 1ST XV & 2ND XV – GPS Competition – Round 5 – J v I, K v N, E v S Can someone with a...
